Hood River winter wonderland

(Hood River, OR - 12/20/08) Non-stop snow from a series of winter storms turns the Columbia Gorge hamlet of Hood River into a winter wonderland. Residents coping with the 3-plus feet of fresh snow in stride. Downtown Hood River businesses are open and enjoying an uptick in last minute holiday shopping, as the closure of I-84 keeps residents closer to town. The City of Hood River has declared a 'snow emergency' effective at midnight on Saturday. The 'snow emergency' means no parking will be allowed on designated snow routes and any parked cars will be immediately ticketed and towed.

The comment has been submitted for review. Thank you .
